Great software.  Use it. :)

See: [[http://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1053]] for key.

I wrote a man page for the CLI app (''makemkvcon'') that is available for download [[https://bluray.beandog.org/makemkv/man/makemkvcon.1|here]] or you can browse the HTML version [[https://bluray.beandog.org/makemkv/man/makemkvcon.html|here]]

See http://www.makemkv.com/developers/usage.txt for CLI instructions.

Your API key needs to be set in ''~/.MakeMKV/settings.conf''

<code>
app_Key = "app-key-123"
</code>

To backup first optical drive into directory "test":
<code>makemkvcon backup --decrypt disc:0 test</code>

That will decrypt and dump the entire disc, in original M2TS format.

** Backup main titles to MKV **

Note that it won't take a symlink to the block device.

<code>
makemkvcon mkv dev:/dev/sr0 all .
</code>

Another option:

<code>
makemkvcon mkv disc:0 all .
</code>

You can use MakeMKV's decryption libraries directly with other apps by setting environment variables to use it for playback:

<code>
LIBAACS_PATH=libmmbd LIBBDPLUS_PATH=libmmbd
</code>
